Hello. So my old Fujitsu laptop had problem with Windows booatloader. everytime I installed windows 10 / or 7 on it I never got to actually boot it up due to bootloader missing messages on startup. But it works fine with Ubuntu 9.
I grabbed Asus notebook today thinking I could swap drives, Install windows 10 there and make it bootable on my Fujitsu that way. So I did. Windows still didn't work when I put SSD back in to Fujitsu but Ubuntu did work fine. Then I switched on the Asus notebook to check everything was ok, and I was shocked to see that it booted up from my Fujitsu drive which already was physicaly removed from laptop. so it booted up from Windows 10 I had just installed with same ID and nothing other then Windows files on drive C. All the other drives, that was prior on the notebook is still there, including one with old windows installation.
Is this a thing that I just don't know about? Note that Asus Notebook has regular Hard Drive where as Fujitsu has SSD drive but it's pretty old too.
It's a bit of a clickbait but really the only way I can think this could happen is if the ssd somehow left it's "data" or "information" written on other laptop or on its motherboard.
